The Jewel of the Nile
Whoever said that all French women age gracefully never met most high school language teachers. In truth, lauded European products like Biologique Recherche trump heritage. This great French beauty secret has arrived at the Nile Institute, a brand new cozy cottage spa in West Hollywood. Gifted and soulful "Skincare Coach" Nina Curtis performs manual microderm abrasion and Jacquet massage technique using the French company’s signature lotion P50 made of sage, witch hazel, alpha hydroxy, and onion. $150, The Nile Institute, 9053 Nemo Street, (310) 275-6453.

I have been a fan of Nina and her skillful hands since her Beverly Hills location. Despite having moved across the country to New York,Nina is the ONLY person I let work on my skin.Yes, that means flying to LA every so often for a facial tune-up. The Nile Institute is an LA treat not to be missed for those who want to be in the know.Posted by Pamela NYC | May 7 2007 2:07PM
I have had many facials in LA and my experience with Nina Curtis at The Nile Institute was exceptional. She is an amazing healer and my face was glowing after the lymphatic massage and I loved the reflexology. Nina is truly gifted.Posted by Patricia | May 7 2007 9:21AM
I've been a Nile Institute junkie since she was in Beverly Hills. Nina and her staff will spoil you from the moment you walk in. I find her touch, style and technique as close to flawless as I've ever experienced or seen! When I stop receiving numerous compliments on my skin, I know its time time to make another appointment at the NI.Posted by Gene | May 6 2007 1:21PM
